News and Updates

Recent News
Limited Trade Activity for Pet Toys Between US and Syria
Recent trade data indicates minimal to no recorded transactions of electromechanical 'hide and seek' pet toys (HS Code 8479.89.94) between the United States and the Syrian Arab Republic, largely due to ongoing sanctions and trade restrictions imposed by the US on Syria.
2023-10-15
Impact: The lack of trade activity reflects the broader impact of US sanctions on Syria, which severely restrict the import and export of non-essential goods, including pet toys, limiting market access for such products.
US Sanctions Continue to Hinder Non-Essential Goods Trade with Syria
The US Department of Treasury's Office of Foreign Assets Control (OFAC) maintains comprehensive sanctions on Syria, affecting trade in niche products like electromechanical pet toys with feather wands and scratching areas.
2023-08-20
Impact: These sanctions effectively block any potential trade in such pet toys between the US and Syria, as they fall outside the scope of humanitarian exemptions, impacting potential exporters and importers.
No Recent Exports of Specialized Pet Toys to Syria Reported
According to the latest US International Trade Commission reports, there have been no documented exports or imports of electromechanical 'hide and seek' pet toys (subheading 8479.89.94) between the United States and Syria in recent years.
2023-06-05
Impact: Ongoing geopolitical tensions and trade barriers continue to prevent the development of a market for specialized pet products in this trade corridor, affecting potential business opportunities.
Policy Updates
US Sanctions on Syria Remain in Effect
The US government has reaffirmed its comprehensive sanctions on Syria under the Syrian Sanctions Regulations (31 CFR Part 542), prohibiting most trade, including non-essential goods like electromechanical pet toys, except under specific OFAC licenses or humanitarian exemptions.
